It's the final show in this set of WWE reviews as I jump over Backlash 2006 because I'm saving it for the final review in the series. The main event here is a fourway for the belt as well as Undertaker vs. Batista II in a last man standing match. ECW is around now too and we get Vince/Umaga/Shane vs. Lashley for the ECW Title in what I'm sure will be riveting TV. Let's get to it.

There is a Backlash '08 as well.

I know. I do three WWE shows in a row then three WCW then three TNA. It's the last in this set of three.

There is a Backlash '08 as well.

If I'm correct there is a 2009 one as well.

The constant neck holds got repetitive but the match itself was pretty good. MVP would get the title the next month in a 2/3 falls match and would hold the title for almost a year. Benoit wouldn't live through the end of summer of course, and it's scary to think that he was in the ring as a champion so close to the end of his life.

I just had a thought as I read this, do you think that MVP's long reign as US Champ was perhaps to try and make people forget who he beat for the title?

 

[klunderbunker]

It's possible. I've never thought of that but yeah it's possible. Although I think it had more to do with the injuries he and Matt had.
